Prone eidolon

[Charlesfire]

The eidolon :

Quote:

If you or your eidolon is affected by anything that

would change a creature’s actions, it affects your shared
actions.

The prone condition :

Quote:

You’re lying on the ground. You are flat-footed and take a –2 circumstance penalty to attack rolls. The only move actions you can use while you’re prone are Crawl and Stand. Standing up ends the prone condition. You can Take Cover while prone to hunker down and gain cover against ranged attacks, even if you don’t have an object to get behind, gaining a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against ranged attacks (but you remain flat-footed).

Does that mean that if the eidolon is prone, the only move actions the summoner can take are Crawl and Stand unless he makes his eidolon stand up?

[Verzen]

So essentially if your Eidolon is prone, you get a +4 AC against ranged attacks???

I think your first quote refers to number of actions, not actual actions that can be selected. There are plenty of actions that can be performed by the summoner and not the eidolon and vice versa, either permanently or temporarily.

That's probably the right interpretation, but it needs to be more clearly stated in the description.
